On the personnel front, Sevilla suffered a very alarming blow on Sunday.
At least that much was said in the first few minutes of the team’s rivalry match against Real Betis.
At the Estadio Benito Villamarín, Quique’s forces are engaged in combat against their fierce enemies, Betis.After Isco put Manuel Pellegrini’s team up from the penalty spot just before halftime, the Nervionenses are desperately trying to grab an equalizer early in the second half.
However, as previously mentioned, Sevilla has far more reason for concern at the Benito Villamarín than just the score right now.
This is in addition to the fact that Quique and company had to deal with a serious blow to their injury case when Isaac Romero was forced to leave the game early after just 25 minutes.
Frontman Isaac eventually had to be stretchered from the field of play after appearing to have a muscle issue. He was clearly distressed.
Later on, the 23-year-old was seen on the Sevilla bench with his teammates, but he had a lot of ice straps wrapped over his right thigh.
